FAQs

What movie has 100% Rotten Tomatoes? ›

To date, Leave No Trace holds the site's record, with a rating of 100% and 252 positive reviews.

What is the Audience Score? The Audience Score, denoted by a popcorn bucket, represents the percentage of users who have rated a movie or TV show positively.

A Tomatometer score is calculated for a movie or TV show after it receives at least five reviews. When at least 60% of reviews for a movie or TV show are positive, a red tomato is displayed to indicate its Fresh status.

A green splat indicating rotten status, is displayed when less than 60% of the reviews are positive. If there is no score available, it usually just means the movie or show hasn't been released or there aren't enough reviews yet.

As the reviews of a given film accumulate, the Rotten Tomatoes score measures the percentage that are more positive than negative, and assigns an overall fresh or rotten rating to the movie. Scores of over 60 percent are considered fresh, and scores of 59 percent and under are rotten.

History. Rotten Tomatoes was launched on August 12, 1998, as a spare-time project by Senh Duong. His objective in creating Rotten Tomatoes was "to create a site where people can get access to reviews from a variety of critics in the U.S".

IMDb has tons of information about the movie and the people involved with it, to include the entire cast and crew, but IMDb does not have reviews. For reviews, we go to Rotten Tomatoes or Metacritic. RT collects more reviews than Metacritic, but breaks down the critics as either liking the film or not liking the film.

Rotten Tomatoes is a trusted source for movie reviews sourced from critics. Every movie uses the "Tomatometer" to score the quality of a film. If the critic liked the movie, a red tomato appears by their review.

How do Rotten Tomatoes make money? ›

Rotten Tomatoes is now owned by Fandango Media, and it uses Fandango's movie ticket purchase system so that users can purchase movie tickets directly from its site. So, some of Rotten Tomatoes revenues also come from a fee it collects for each online ticket purchase.

On the film review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes, films that every surveyed critic considered bad have a 0% rating. As of 2023, only 40 films with more than 20 reviews have received this rating.

Singin' in the Rain (1952)

We're not surprised to see that Singin' in the Rain has a perfect 100% Rotten Tomatoes score, as it's one of the most heartwarming, cheerful, gorgeous movies ever.

The purple Peaco*ck feather indicates Premium content that you can unlock by upgrading to Peaco*ck Premium.

The peaco*ck emoji does a pretty good job of conveying the stunning aesthetic appeal of this amazing bird, and it's an excellent representation of beauty. It can also be used to comment slyly on things like arrogance, pride, and self-confidence.

Other recent series with multiple seasons in the 100% club: The Good Place, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, One Day at a Time, Veep, Fleabag, Jane the Virgin, and Feel Good. Only Murders in the Building season 1 has the most reviews on its perfect 100% score.

The 99% Club: An Ode to the Almost-Perfect Movie

The 99% Club: You'll find it, way past 98% on the Tomatometer, but just before 100%. Inside, a coterie of cinema's practically-finest, movies promising an experience beyond most others – movies that are almost perfect.

So when a movie such as “Black Panther” gets a certified “fresh” 97 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, we interpret it as a film that is near perfection, while a film such as last year's “The Emoji Movie” that lands around 9 percent, must be a steaming pile of garbage.
